Development of fuzzy logic controller for magnetorheological rotary brake system by Rashid, Muhammad Mahbubur, Hussain, Mohamed Azlan, Abd Rahim, Nasrudin, Salami, Momoh Jimoh Emiyoka

“…This effect is the result of changes in the fluid structure: the ferromagnetic particles of the fluid, being single domains, when subjected to an external magnetic field, become orientated and concentrated along the lines of forces of the magnetic Field. The design of the electromechanical converters mentioned above permits the space between the casing and the moving component of the converter to be filled with the magnetorheological fluid. …”

Antioxidant, α-glucosidase inhibitory, and cytotoxic activities of Mangifera rufocostata extract and identification of its compounds by LC-MS/ MS analysis by Mustikasari, Kamilia, Santoso, Mardi, Abu Bakar, Mohd Fadzelly, Sri Fatmawati, Sri Fatmawati

“…Antioxidant activity were evaluated by 2-2″-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and ferric reducing-antioxidant power (FRAP) tests. α-glucosidase inhibitory to prediction antidiabetic activity, and cytotoxic activity were studied against HT-29, HeLa, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. The results showed that the methanol extract have the highest TFC, TPC, antioxidant, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. …”

Periodic array of complementary artificial magnetic conductor metamaterials-based multiband antennas for broadband wireless transceivers by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Naser-Moghadasi, Mohammad, Sadeghzadeh, Ramazan Ali, Virdee, Bal Singh, Limiti, Ernesto

“…This study presents the empirical results of a low-profile light-weight antenna based on a periodic array of the complementary artificial magnetic conductor metamaterial structure, which is realised by loading the antenna with E-shaped slits and inductive microstrip lines grounded using metallic via-holes. The finalised prototype antenna operates over a broadband of 0.41–4.1 GHz, which corresponds to a fractional bandwidth of 165.84%, and has dimensions of 40mm × 35mm × 1.6mm or 0.054λo × 0.047λo × 0.0021λo, where λo is free-space wavelength at operating frequency of 410 MHz. …”
